Chapter 164: The Childish Younger Brother Gets into a Fight
The four of them shared a dorm room, and because they were close friends, they often played games together.
Hero Vanguard was the game they played most—and played best. All four were considered top-tier players.
They never expected to be utterly crushed today.
For several matches in a row, they had surrendered all their lives within the first few minutes—not just one player’s, but all four of theirs.
After being kicked out, they sat there in a daze, staring at their phones and replaying the match. They had been thoroughly humiliated, yet they were incredibly excited.
“Damn, was that actually a professional player? How could they be that good?”
“Probably not. I checked the account—it’s only been active for a few months.”
“It could be a secondary account. And somehow, this account looks strangely familiar to me.”
“Now that you mention it, it really does. Damn, could it actually be a professional player’s alternate account?”
“Highly likely.”
The best student among the four immediately edited a video. They were all computer science majors, and he put together an exceptionally impressive clip.
The video, titled “Come See How a Master Brutally Defeated Four Players in Five Minutes,” was uploaded online and quickly attracted a great deal of attention.
The game was already extremely popular, and after Yun Fu became its spokesperson, its popularity had risen even further. As soon as the video appeared, countless gaming enthusiasts flocked to it.
[Is this the legendary human-shaped cheat? This is insane!]
[Is it KDS and the others?]
[Anyone who thinks that clearly isn’t a KDS fan. None of them play like this. So is this a newly discovered master?]
[Damn, KDS, hurry up and recruit this person! We’ve forgotten about the tournament!]
[That technique is unbelievable. I hadn’t even seen what happened before they won.]
[This person could probably go head-to-head with a professional player. They’re absurdly good.]
The video continued to gain momentum, and before long, people began noticing something strange.
[Wait a second. Isn’t this account Yun Fu’s?]
One user even posted a screenshot showing the account Yun Fu had used during the celebrity tournament.
The two accounts were identical.
But asking people to believe that a female celebrity could compete with professional players was even harder than asking them to believe that Yun Fu had been hacked.
Naturally, there were also some particularly extreme commenters.
[Maybe Yun Fu borrowed someone else’s account during the last tournament!]
[The spring tournament is less than a month away. Is KDS really not going to reach out to this person?]
[I’ve discovered that some people’s fans are truly disgusting. They jump on every bit of attention. Even when someone plays a game well, they insist it must be their idol. Why not just say she’s perfect at everything while you’re at it?]
[Agreed. Yun Fu is indeed good at many things, but there are plenty of multitalented celebrities in the entertainment industry.]
Yun Fu’s fans were furious at these comments, but they did not want to stoop to arguing with people who were clearly blind.
They all believed Yun Fu would surely give them a pleasant surprise.
Meanwhile, the more Xie Chengyuan played with Yun Fu, the more astonished he became. His sister was practically a divine being.
She really did play as though she were using cheats.
“Xie Chengyuan!”
His parents had just finished washing the dishes when they came out and saw their son playing games with his sister. They immediately flew into a rage.
“You little brat! Fine, play games by yourself if you want, but can’t you let your sister get some proper rest?
“And what about your English? Instead of wasting time playing games, why don’t you ask your sister to tutor you?”
Lin Chunhua looked at Yun Fu with both pride and heartache. In a parent’s eyes, their child was always the very best.
She was no different. In her eyes, Yun Fu had always been outstanding—and, in fairness, Yun Fu’s grades really were quite good.
It was only that, in the past, her heart had never been focused on studying.
Xie Chengyuan pouted and glanced at Yun Fu with a wounded expression, hoping she would say something on his behalf.
Yun Fu sighed. “Study hard, and in a few days I’ll take you to meet KDS.”
“!!!”
Xie Chengyuan shot upright from the sofa.
“KDS!” His voice was so loud that it startled both of his parents. “Really? Sis, you know someone from KDS? Oh, right—you’re their spokesperson, so of course you might know them! Ahhh, I’m going to study. Sis, don’t forget!”
No boy could resist meeting a professional player, especially a legendary figure among professionals like KDS.
Because of those few words from Yun Fu, Xie Chengyuan spent the next several days diligently studying at home, astonishing both of his parents.
Finally, just before New Year’s Eve, a friend invited him out.
Yun Fu had been eating and drinking so well at home that her mother seemed determined to make up for every meal she had missed during the two years she had been away.
If Yun Fu had not exercised regularly, Jo Ann would have been horrified when she saw her after the New Year.
Just when Yun Fu thought she would spend her days idling around until it was time to return to the production set, she received a call from Xie Chengyuan.
“What happened?” He had gone out with friends that day, so he should not have needed to call her.
There was a brief silence on the other end before Xie Chengyuan spoke in a guilty voice.
“Sis, could you… come to the police station?”
Without alerting her parents, Yun Fu drove to the police station alone.
Inside, a group of teenage boys sat with bruised and swollen faces, their heads hanging low.
When they heard the sound of a car, they all looked up in unison. Then a stunning Mercedes pulled up, and a woman stepped out.
“Damn!”
A beautiful woman beside a luxury car was a scene dazzling enough to make anyone’s nose bleed.
Only Xie Chengyuan looked both guilty and excited.
“That’s Yun Fu! The celebrity! My mom watches Startling Grace at home every day, and she says Yun Fu is her favorite!”
“How did a celebrity end up in a place this small? She’s so beautiful, and that car is incredible!”
“Wah, I’d be satisfied if I could just touch that car!”
Yun Fu frowned. Her trench coat rustled with every step as she walked toward Xie Chengyuan.
The boy kept his head lowered, not daring to look at her.
Yun Fu glanced at him. “Did you lose the fight?”
“…”
Xie Chengyuan raised his head and stubbornly stuck out his chin. “Of course not! They were just shameless enough to call the police!”
The police officer standing nearby fell silent.
“Why did you get into a fight?”
At the question, Xie Chengyuan lowered his head again, and the guilt radiating from him grew even stronger.
Under Yun Fu’s oppressive gaze, he finally muttered in a tiny voice, “I… I accidentally said that you were going to take me to meet KDS. They didn’t believe me, so…”
Yun Fu was utterly speechless. She had never interacted with ordinary boys of this age before.
She had never imagined they could be so childish, capable of fighting over something so trivial.
At the same time, however, she understood them perfectly.
The moment the others heard this, they all rolled their eyes and scoffed.
Xie Chengyuan nearly lunged at them and started fighting again.
The police officer beside them rapped each boy sharply on the head.
“Since your sister has come to take you home, you can leave for now.
“As for the rest of you, you’ll have to wait until your parents arrive!”
